TAIWAN TRIP ( 8 - 17 June 2010 ) - Liqing, Poh Li Si & Natalie Goh Cai Wen!

i had to refer to my blog to remember when was the last time i actually blogged, and boy, it was SO long ago! the last entry was dated 19 June 2010, two day afters my return from taiwan grad trip with the girls!

(this is an attempt to try blogging again! so what should i start?)

this trip certainly brought us all closer, and sorta got me and lisi talking again. taiwan was one country i didn't expect to visit, not when i'm always trying to be so angmoh-ish. HAHA. anyway, in retrospect, i'm really glad i made this trip! else god knows how much fun i would have missed out on!

photos are ALL up on facebook! ( I DID QC OKAY!! haha! )

i truly enjoyed my stay in kaoshiung and kenting, can't quite speak the same for taipei. WHY IS THAT SO! i seriously dont quite get it, since taipei is the capital of taiwan! it is also the highly raved must-visit city! but it turned out to be quite a disappointment, the streets were dirty, messy and run-down. totally not cool. :(

kaoshiung - 4 days!
our hotel is the most awesome one we stayed!! :D credits to nat for finding it! it's so BIG and SPACIOUS and WORTH THE MONEY!!!!! it's not even expensive! :DD too big we didnt cherish it until we went to kenting/taipei. LOL TTM!

(I CAN'T RMBR THE EXACT NAMES FOR PLACES COS THEY ARE IN CHINESE! will come back to this again!)

kenting - 2 days!
(easier to blog about this part!)

we took a cab from our hotel in kaoshiung down to kenting! 2 hours ride. and we almost died!!! rah. the driver drove at 120km/h when it was RAINING CATS & DOGS! the car skidded so many times that we were really all freaked out. diferent ways of handling this too. lq couldn't bear to sleep cos she's worried and she's the front passenger! nat, lisi and myself, slept because we couldn't bear to watch. it was a long, long ride... F

FINALLY we got to kenting! but i was half-dead already. :(( was a dampen because it kept raining :( and we only had 2 days there! we stayed at this MIN SHU which has no elevator!! gosh, and my luggage is like SUPER DUPER HEAVY! we can't even check in when we were there, so we gotta wait at the 'so-called' lobby. :(( not a good start for our adventure in kenting! so we walked out to the streets to look for FOOOOOD! it was really quite hilarious thinking back now, four of us, four umbrellas, walking in the rain. really quite a sight.

the rain subsided in the afternoon and we went for WATER SPORTS!!!!!! 500 NT per person for about 2 hours! works out to be about 25sgd for 2hours. it was quite exhilarating to say the least. snorkeling, speed boat, banana boat, duck web and our 'instructor' gave us free jetski cos we're not locals! :D the water sports are damn fun!!!! <3 haha mad love. (pity i didnt do any in phuket with my diver boyf! rah!) we took a shower in those container toilets and it STINKS ttm! we applied our snorkeling skills - not breathing through your nose!! lol. very embarrassing but fun!! <3 hahah

day two:
